Additional shortcodes
you want shortcodes beyond Tickera’s core set — past events, category-filtered listings, attendee Gravatar walls, “tickets left” counters, calendar widgets — and need the index of what extra shortcodes Tickera (and some of its add-ons) provide.
What “additional” means here
Tickera’s core shortcode set covers the essentials: event page, ticket list, cart, checkout, my-account, attendee table. The shortcodes listed below extend that with more curated display patterns — useful for landing pages, multi-event sites, archive pages, sidebar widgets and community-style events.
Event listing shortcodes
[all_events]— list every published event on the site, with filters for category and date range. Powers archives and “what’s coming up” landing pages.[events_by_category]— list events filtered by a specific event category (jazz events, family events, conferences). Useful for category landing pages.[past_events]— list events whose date has already passed. Useful for post-event archives and SEO long after the event runs.
Ticket/inventory shortcodes
[event_tickets_left]— remaining-ticket counter for Bridge for WooCommerce setups. “Only 12 left!” scarcity cues outside the main event page.
Attendee & social shortcodes
[attendee_gravatars]— Gravatar wall of attendees for community-style events. Drives social proof on the event page (“look who’s coming”).
How to use any of them
Each shortcode follows the same pattern as Tickera core: place the shortcode (or its matching Gutenberg block) inside any page or post. Each accepts attributes for filtering and limits (event ID, category slug, date range, max items, layout). The linked recipe for each shortcode includes the full attribute reference and a working example you can copy.
If a shortcode renders nothing
See Shortcodes not loading content — usually a caching layer, a page builder stripping shortcodes from its rendered HTML, or a deactivated add-on. The diagnostic flow there covers all the common cases.
Building your own
If none of the bundled shortcodes do what you need, you can register a custom shortcode via Tickera’s hooks and filters. Query event/ticket/attendee data via standard WordPress queries, render whatever HTML you want, register with add_shortcode(). The codebase exposes everything you’d need.
